 Fedora 14 uses tty0 for the X console.  We use ttyUSB0 and tty0 to show
 console messages.

 It is not possible to switch to the text console version of tty0 (Alt-F1)
 while X is running.  Therefore one cannot see the console messages without
 a serial cable.

 We should pick a new console to use, although we may not be able to use
 F9-F12 due to their volume/brightness remapping.
